If I lived in Texas I would have totally off grid power.
That would be smart. Personal solar panels not connected to grid. And propane. It’s idiotic to be in Texas and freeze to death. And they have trashed the system and I see no signs of them fixing it.
You would be right to look after yourself.
I wish I could but it’s just not worth it unless you live way out in the country. The ‘free’ solar install would charge me the same monthly average I’m currently paying, but I’d also have to pay for anything above solar production that I need during the high-summer months.
Overall solar panels are actually more expensive, without even looking at possible roof damage/insurance issues, battery fire risks, or lost garage space.
